that combo will be better with the grip.
do you think it will AF as fast as on the E-30?

The 14-54mm is a very compact lens... it doesn't need the grip.

But no, it won't AF as fast as on the E-30. It will provide just as fast exposure, and just as sharp images. I would think that's more important, personally. The Mark II version is usable in the AF department.

Get the body-only package and pick up the MMF-3 and Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 II as your kit lens.

It works as a kit lens for the E-30, so why not the E-M5?

Hi,

I have MMF2, will it work with the oly 4/3 14-54mm f2.8, I have E-PM1 and G2 will this lens work well(good quality images) with these 2 cameras? Also I assume I would be able to use auto-focus as well.

As an aside, if you end up not liking the 12-50, it will probably have a better resale value/market than the 14-42 II R that just about every has or has had something very similar to with their camera.
